This is one of the most important books I've read in my life (specifically, as a Christian). I wish so much to have had this book decades ago. But as it is, I am so glad it is out in the world today.

The authors cut through so much that is wrong in the Church with deftness, compassion, and love. The contrast with a true culture of goodness (a fruit of the Spirit, may I remind those of us prone to forget) is mind blowing. The path forward toward that goodness is given succinctly and passionately.

I hope that every pastor or "leader" reads this, as well as any lay person with a desire for their local church to be as healthy as it can be.
